I just believe that the cost of marketing is going to increase and the cost of delivery is going to decrease as the Net gets stronger and mass media gets weaker.

Mass communication--wonder as it may be technologically and something to be appreciated and valued--presents us wit a serious daner, the danger of conformism, due to the fact that we all view the same things at the same time in all the cities of the country. (p. 73)

The average TV commercial of sixty seconds has one hundred and twenty half-second clips in it, or one-third of a second. We bombard people with sensation. That substitutes for thinking.

Mass media wants bright lights. Mass media wants crazy clothes.

It is advertising and the logic of consumerism that governs the depiction of reality in the mass media.

When you mutilate movies for mass media, you tamper with the hearts and minds of America.
